I thought I would add a few pictures of the baby quilts and pillows I have made in the last few years. I have been quilting since 1979, and wish I had had the foresight to take more pictures of the results. To this day, I still have ladies who tell me they are enjoying the pillow they bought back in whatever year it was, and that it is still as new and fresh as it was the day it was completed.

What joy it is to make things you love and sell them, but even better is giving something to a special person 'just because'. They love it, but what satisfaction that brings to the one who gives! That's what our Lord told us, and He was right on that one.

We are glad you come to look around our blog. Sisters of the Heart is a fairly new group of ladies who love to do alot of the same things. We started our group in early Spring of this year with a few friends meeting with the common love of needlework and a desire to help others through our handiwork. One of the women said that we were like sisters~sisters of the heart~and the name stuck. Our members come from all areas and ages and some drive in from surrounding areas to be together. We are all Christians and lean on the Lord as well as each other.

The first projects we did as a group were some Banners for church. Several of the sisters belong to the same church, and in that way, we were able to accomplish something for the ladies ministries. We will be putting some pictures online as soon as we can.

About Me

I love to quilt and sew since I was very young. My mom introduced me to quilting in 1979 and began a life-long love of this artform. It began with a few simple hand applique' and hand quilted pillows and soon included baby quilts and small items for the home. With each sale or a blue ribbon, the love and enjoyment for sewing only grew stronger.
I have a wonderful Christian husband and we share grown children and growing grandchildren.
Our sewing group,Sisters of the Heart, meet once a week and we do everything from sewing for preemie babies in NICU to making lap quilts for friends in the hospital or local nursing homes or hospice. All the ladies enjoy the fun and companionship of knowing one of the "Sisters" will be there for the other whatever comes up.
